1.5 We only process users' personal data in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. This means that the data will only be processed if we have legal permission to do so.

8th cookies: Not to bite into, but full of functions

8.1 Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your user experience, analyze the use of the website and ensure basic functionalities. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. We use different types of cookies, which are described below:

8.2 Types of cookies:

  1. Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of the website and their use is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which is why no consent of the user is required. They enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. Necessary cookies on this website are

    • dd_cookie_test_cf09d422-36c9-4089-ac50-669d392d7555 und ähnliche: These cookies ensure the reliable functionality of the website during your session and are deleted after the browser is closed.

    • crumb: This cookie prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and has a session runtime.

    • __hssrc: This cookie recognizes a restart of your browser and has a session runtime.

  2. Functional cookies: Functional cookies are used to provide specific functions and services that go beyond the basic site functions. In contrast to necessary cookies, which are essential for basic navigation and access to secure areas of the website, functional cookies enable additional features such as the management of user settings, the improvement of the user experience through personalized content or the blocking of tracking codes. The following functional cookies are used on this website:

    • __hs_do_not_track: This cookie is used to prevent the tracking code from sending information to HubSpot. It has a duration of 179 days.

    • Secure_ENID Cookie: We use Secure_Enid to ensure the security and integrity of our website. Secure_Enid is a security protocol that helps you navigate securely through our online offerings. It enables us to prevent unauthorized access and ensure that your personal data is protected from cyber attacks. Secure_Enid data is stored for a maximum of 24 hours. This short storage period helps us to quickly identify and respond to security-related events without storing your data for longer than necessary. After this time, the Secure_Enid data is automatically deleted, unless there is a specific security reason that makes longer storage necessary. For the _Secure_ENID cookie, which is set by Google and serves to ensure the security and functionality of Google services, classification as a functional cookie would be appropriate.

The legal basis for the use of necessary and functional cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

  1. Session cookies: These temporary cookies are deleted after you close your browser and help us to recognize and link your actions during a browser session. Examples of session cookies on this website are

  • _ga: This cookie is used to distinguish users and analyze website usage during your session.

  • _cf_bm (hsforms.com) and _cf_bm (hsforms.net): These cookies differentiate between humans and bots and are usually deleted after 30 minutes.

The legal basis for the use of session cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

  1. Analysis cookies: These cookies collect information about the use of our website in order to improve performance and optimize the user experience. Examples of analytics cookies are:

  • _ga_P8TESRLFJ9 and _ga_W2SNQ7ZBDN: These cookies store information such as the number of visitors, pages visited and the source of the visit. This information helps us to improve the user experience and optimize the performance of our website. Both cookies are stored for a period of 2 years. During this time, they enable us to recognize trends and patterns in website usage, which contributes to the continuous improvement of our online offerings. At the end of the 2-year period, these cookies are automatically deleted unless they are set again.

  • __hstc: This cookie tracks visitors and stores the time of the first and last visit as well as the current session for 179 days.

  • hubspotutk: This cookie tracks the identity of a visitor and has a duration of 179 days.

When you visit our website for the first time, you will be asked to consent to the use of cookies, in particular analysis cookies. While necessary and session cookies remain activated by default, analysis cookies require your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can change your cookie settings in your browser or withdraw your consent at any time. To do this, go to the cookie banner under this link: Cookie Settings.

Alternatively, you can object to the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative(http://optout.networkadvertising.org/), the US website(http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website(http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

9. google analytics

Google Analytics is a powerful analytics tool that we use to gain valuable insights into the use of our website. Below we provide detailed information on the use of Google Analytics: 

9.1 We use Google Analytics on the basis of our legitimate interests in order to analyze, optimize and economically operate our online offer (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). We use data protection-friendly settings. Google uses cookies to collect information about the use of our online offer by users, which is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

9.2 In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the USA, we have concluded additional data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses with Google.

9.3 Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer, to create activity reports and to provide other services related to the use of the online offer. Pseudonymous user profiles may be created in the process.

9.4 We use Google Analytics to present relevant ads to users who have shown interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (so-called "remarketing" or "Google Analytics audiences"). In this way, we want to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying.

9.5 We use pseudonymous user identification numbers to measure and analyze the use of our online offering. These do not contain any unique data such as names or e-mail addresses, but are used to assign analysis information to end devices. Among other things, the content accessed, search terms used, interactions and technical details of the end devices and browsers are recorded.

9.6 Pseudonymous user profiles are created, which may contain information from the use of various devices. Google Analytics does not log and store individual IP addresses for EU users, but provides rough geographical location data derived from IP address metadata.

9.7 Users can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate browser settings or prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to the use of the online offer to Google and their processing by Google through the browser plugin at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

10. google marketing services

10.1 We use the marketing and remarketing services ("Google Marketing Services") of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) to analyze, optimize and economically operate our online offering 

10.2 In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the USA, we have concluded additional data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses with Google.

10.3 Google Marketing Services enable us to display targeted advertisements on our website that match your interests. This is done through "remarketing", whereby you may be presented with ads for products that you have already shown interest in on other websites. To do this, Google uses special codes and (re)marketing tags when you visit our website and other websites on which Google marketing services are active. Your IP address and other information about the use of our online services are recorded and stored. However, within the European Union and in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), IP addresses are shortened before storage in order to exclude the possibility of direct personal identification. Your IP address will not be combined with data from other Google services. However, Google may link the above-mentioned information with data from other sources. Based on this link, you may be shown ads on other websites based on your interests.

10.4 An individual cookie is stored on the user's device, which contains information about websites visited, interesting content, offers clicked on, technical details and the IP address. The IP address is truncated within the EU or other contracting states of the EEA and is only transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases.

10.5 Your data will be processed pseudonymously as part of Google marketing services, without names or e-mail addresses being stored. Google uses cookies to process the data in pseudonymous user profiles so that ads can be managed and displayed according to your interests.

10.6 The information collected by Google marketing services is transmitted to Google and stored on servers in the USA. The services used include Google AdWords, DoubleClick and AdSense.

10.7 We use Google Tag Manager to centrally manage website tags and analyze visitor activity. The Google Tag Manager itself does not store any user profiles or cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. However, the IP address of users is transmitted to Google for technical reasons if services are integrated via the Tag Manager.

10.8 Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR);              

Standard contractual clauses: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms;       

Data processing agreement: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/.

 11. NEWS-NEWS-NEWS

11.1 What is it about? The newsletter is our digital information package with offers, promotions and everything to do with our company. By subscribing to it, you agree that we may send you this information and agree to our procedure.

11.2 What's inside? The newsletter only contains content for which you have given us your consent or which is permitted by law. If we offer special content, this is deemed to be consent.

11.3 Confirmation and security: Registration takes place using the double opt-in procedure: After registering, you will receive an e-mail in which you must confirm your registration. This prevents people from registering with other people's email addresses. We log all registrations in order to comply with legal requirements. This includes time, IP address and confirmation.

11.4 What happens to the data? The shipping service provider may use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without direct assignment to you, to improve shipping or for statistics, e.g. on the origin of the recipients. The shipping service provider does not use your data to write to you directly or pass it on.

11.5 Registration details: You only need to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, you can enter your name so that we can address you personally.

11.6 Statistical survey and analyses: In our newsletters, we use a "web beacon", a small pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the mailing service provider when the newsletter is opened. In doing so, we collect technical information such as the browser type, your operating system, your IP address and the time of retrieval. This data helps us to improve our service, e.g. by analyzing which content is particularly interesting or when most readers open the newsletter. We also look at which links are clicked to find out what interests you the most. We use these findings to adapt our content even better to your needs, but without identifying or monitoring individual users.

11.7 Why do we do this? We use the mailing service to offer a user-friendly and secure newsletter that meets our and your interests.

11.8 Cancellation and revocation: You can cancel the newsletter at any time. This will also revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and the statistics. You will find the unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter. If you unsubscribe, we will delete your data.

12. integration of third-party services and content:

12.1 Content and services from third-party providers: We use content and services from third-party providers on our website in order to optimize our online offering and operate it economically. This means, for example, that we integrate videos or fonts from external providers in order to offer you an improved user experience. Your IP address is required so that this content can be correctly transmitted to your browser. We take care to only integrate content whose providers use the IP address exclusively to provide the content. Some third-party providers also use pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. These tags allow us to analyze information about visitor traffic on our website. The information collected is pseudonymized and may contain cookies that include technical details such as browser type and operating system, referrer pages, visit time and other usage data. This information may also be combined with data from other sources.

12.2 Overview of third-party providers and their services:

a) Payment services: If you use third-party payment services such as PayPal or Sofortüberweisung, their terms and conditions and privacy policies apply, which you can find on their respective websites or transaction applications.

  • Google Fonts: Google Fonts are integrated by calling up a Google server, usually in the USA. When your browser requests a Google font, your IP address is transmitted to Google in order to display the fonts correctly. In addition to the IP address, technical data such as language settings, screen resolution, operating system and hardware used are also transmitted. This data is necessary so that the fonts can be provided to suit your device and your technical environment. When you visit our website, your browser sends HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API, an interface for retrieving fonts. The Web API provides you with the required CSS files and the fonts specified therein. These HTTP requests include your IP address, the requested URL on the Google server and HTTP headers containing information about your browser and operating system, as well as the referrer URL, i.e. the website on which the Google font is to be displayed.

Google does not store or analyze your IP address. The Google Fonts Web API only logs the requested URL, the user agent (for debugging and usage statistics) and the referrer URL (for maintenance purposes and reports). This data helps Google to analyze the use of fonts and measure the popularity of different font families. According to Google, this information is not used to create profiles of end users or to display targeted ads.
